****Our FIELDTRIP to Loma Vista Farm in Vallejo is next THURSDAY, May 5th

ALL Kindergarteners come to school in the morning (just like Wacky Wednesday).  Please be here by 8:15a.m.  Please send a small snack for your child, as we will be eating it there.  Children should wear comfortable closed toed shoes.
   Also, send your child with a booster seat clearly labeled   with his/her name on Thursday (no five point harnesses).

    All students must come to the classroom in the morning for attendance. If you are driving only your child, you will need to sign the sheet in the classroom.

   Please make sure your child’s teacher knows if there are any changes in driving.

·        CALLING ALL MOMS!!!!!!  We will have our Annual Mother’s Day Spa on Friday, May 6th.  PLEASE plan to be here for the first 1 ½ hours on Friday, at the start of your child’s day.  (8:30 – 10:00am for AM Kinder & 12:00 – 1:30pm for PM Kinder)  You will be pampered and loved on!!!!  Plan for your nails to be painted and your shoulders to be massaged!  If you are UNable to come, please try to send someone else in your place (ie grandma, aunt,etc), as we want to make sure every child has a mother or loved-one to pamper. 

   · Third Trimester Progress Reports will be sent home next week. Only students performing below grade level will receive a progress report.

   ·  Please complete and return the green Proof of Residence form to your child’s teacher as soon as possible.

·        Writing—We are starting a new writing topic for this month.  Because it’s our last month of Kindergarten, we want everyone to think about all of the previous writing jobs we’ve had and try to incorporate DIFFERENT things to write about!  We are encouraging using number words this month!  Our goal is to have the kids choose one topic and elaborate on it, really describing it.
